The movie is an emotional drama released 1991. It is about a director, David Merrill from Hollywood who returns to France from abroad. His utmost priority has always been his work. However, on returning, he finds that his loyalty is being questioned by the House committee, which deals on American activities. The movie beautifully captures the situation where sticking to one’s principles can lead him to so many troubles. Will David be able to face the cruel and authoritarian FBI? We need to watch the movie to find out the answer. It teaches us that our highest priority in life should be to raise our voice in favor of the right.
Irwin Winkler directs this movie very well. It depicts the effects of McCarthy HUAC confrontations on the lives of the people. The movie is very close to reality.
